Census figures show care workers on the rise

HELPING HAND: Social support coordinator Tanya Lucas and home support worker Bob Costin are among Millicent’s fastest rising occupation group – community and personal service workers. More than 13pc of employed Millicent residents work in the care industry.

COMMUNITY and Personal Service Workers are on the increase, according to figures from the 2016 National Census.

With a workday that includes fishing, sing-a-longs and road trips, healthcare and social assistance workers Bob Costin and Tanya Lucas are hardly surprised.
